My good friend @LinearRadio joins me as we zoom out from #Indiana to look at the current moment of crisis, rising authoritarianism, and how we got here.
Our conversation is guided by "The Fourth Turning" which theorizes history seems to repeat in cycles every four generations. books.google.com/books/about/Th…
This pattern shows up throughout American history, with the Revolution, Civil War, and Great Depression/WWII punctuating the previous cycles.
We currently find ourselves at the end of the most recent cycle, the death throes of neoliberalism. One of two things will happen: we will descend into fascism OR we will develop something new and fully realize the American promise.
We meander a bit. We probably go 30% over time. But I think it's worthwhile listen, and I hope you'll join us. Please follow and share widely. We're all gonna have to do this together.
Not to be a bummer, but the National Football League is a pretty horrific organization. You might not notice if you're only watching on Sundays, but if you look between the headlines, you'll find a multi-billion dollar empire built on exploitation.
Like the #MagicEye puzzles of the 90's, the underlying suffering is invisible unless seen from the right angle.
